At the end of last term, two ensembles from Highclare Senior School entered the Tamworth and District Music Festival. The newly-formed “High C Jazz” group scored 85% (commended) for their performance of “Boogie Woogie” in the 14-and-under ensemble category. The Rhapsody Choir reclaimed the Vocal Ensemble trophy, scoring 87% (distinction) with a performance of two contrasting pieces. The music department would like to congratulate all pupils who took part for their excellent performances, and particular thanks should be extended to Mrs Okeghie and Mr Whitham for coaching the jazz group.
